Question

Ethyl Magnesium bromide to propanoic acid ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Convert the ethyl bromide into Grignard's reagent, ethyl magnesium bromide then allow to react with dry ice (Solid carbon dioxide) then acidic hydrolysis produces the propionic acid.

Please mark me as brainliest.

Answer 2

Explanation:

• onvert the ethyl bromide into Grignard's reagent, ethyl magnesium bromide then allow to react with dry ice (Solid carbon dioxide) then acidic hydrolysis produces the propionic acid.

• First treat ethyl bromide with aqueous KCN, ethyl cyanide is obtained, then hydyolyse it with water in acidic medium, propanoic acid is obtained. EtBr + KCN(aq.) EtCN + WATER/ACID gives EtCOOH

• The Ethyl magnesium bromide can be converted to ethane by carrying out hydrolysis .
• It is actually a alkyl magnesium halide or can be phenyl magnesium halide.
• It has wide use in chemistry.
• It can be converted to number of compounds under different conditions .
